The Shinko Trail Pro 255 Radial Trials Tire has a super soft compound with a highly flexible radial carcass that provides excellent grip on rocks and other slick terrain. This tire works excellent in gnarly single track terrain.

19 inch size allows use by most all full size motocross bikes without changing rear rims.

DOT approved. The Shinko Trail Pro 255 is a D.O.T. approved tire but is not recommended for commuter/continuous highway use. It is a tire for serious off road and trials applications and can be legally used "on highway" to connect off road trail heads.

Rocky Single Track

Dan in Arizona

Comments On Apr 27, 2015:I put this tire on my CRF 250R and have nothing but great things to say about it. 19" trials tires are hard to come by and this one has performed beyond my expectations. I ride it at 12psi on rocky single track and it grips like no other. I have 4 rides on it and am just starting to see some ware but no chunks or missing knobs. I will definitely get another one when the time comes.

Just can't be happier!

Eric in CA – Machine this part was bought for: 2003 KAWASAKI KX250

Comments On Feb 06, 2015:If you ride on rocky terrain, a trials tire is the way to go. That said, this tire is very durable. it made it through an entire enduro racing season and still had some life on it. I highly recommend!

great investment

SETH in OH – Machine this part was bought for: 2007 KTM 250 SX

Comments On Oct 13, 2014:I decided to try this tire instead of another knobby. All I can say is wow, it seems to find traction everywhere. I am in eastern Ohio and the terrain changes from hard pack to rocks, loose shale, mud, roots, and grass. I am using the 19" tire on my KTM 250 SXF.

First trials tire ever used

Comments On Dec 30, 2013:Riding in central Texas on land suitable for goats and rattlesnakes. Tire has performed flawlessly on the limestone base and feels like cheating on the stair step shelves. I run 8psi and haven't had any issues. Not the greatest tire when getting into the black soil or mud but wasn't expecting an all around tire either. Will definitely purchase again...great performance for the price.

Not for the street!

Patrick in CA – Machine this part was bought for: 2003 HONDA XR400R

Comments On Dec 14, 2013:Great traction in sand & rocks at 8psi. Scary on the pavement at any speed regardless of how much air pressure is run. I was surprised these are DOT rated for highway use. Sidewalls felt non existent and made my bike feel mushy and as if the tire was going to roll over or wash out when cornering on asphalt at any speed over 10mph.

Not for street use

Comments On Dec 02, 2013:The 19" tire works OK in the dirt (~10psi) but is not stable on the street even though it it DOT rated. I even raised the pressure to 32psi for street use and it still was to soft. Feels like tire is flat....not recommended.

19" trials test

Robert in Oklahoma – Machine this part was bought for: 2005 YAMAHA YZ250

Comments On Oct 25, 2013:I got this tire to test if i really wanted to try a more expensive trials tire. first off i realized across the board the traction was great. not quite as good on the durability aspect but for half the price your really cant complain. it rides almost exactly like a dunlop or michelin except i think it may be softer, which helped in sand and mud.

good tire just takes some getting uses too

brock in UT

Comments On Sep 11, 2013:I have had this tire on my cr500 for about six pretty long rides, that have involved all sorts of terrain. this tire grips better than any other tire out their. you just have to ride it the right way with low pressure and have to be careful to not spin it. on fast roads it just takes some getting used to. it relay hasn't shone to much wear yet knobs just a little rounded. i'm also running the 19in.

Tire split after 3 rides

Comments On Aug 13, 2013:This tire split horizontally between the treads in about 6 places on my third ride. I do not recommend buying it.

good on moist soils & roots only

TOM in WA – Machine this part was bought for: 2002 HONDA CR250R

Comments On Apr 27, 2013:This tire instills confidence. Overall less deflection over bumps and excellent traction everywhere except greasy mud. If you agree with the concept of tread lightly then this tire is for you. Friend of mine on a KTM 250XCWF (designed for trail riding) tore up switchbacks with his knobby whereas I could just motor around them calmly with sure traction and clutch modulation while not rototilling the trail's tread unlike a knobby. Performance wise this tire is unique with a rounded trials surface vice the squared off surface found on every other brand. The treads are a gooey rubbery compound that forms to the terrain. I used my usual low pressure (6-7 psi) approach and a UHD rear tube but found the rear end to fishtail and wallow around due to overall soft rubber. Bumped it up to 14 psi and it was excellent. No sliding around, no wallow, better hook up, no spinning, etc. Along with all this you do not need to lace up a 18" wheel which saves you at least $250 in parts. Tread life is good too - knobs do not round off immediately unlike a knobby. I have had a 18" rear trials on a different bike and this 19" really is no compromise.

Additional Comments On Aug 05, 2013:Do not use this on mountain hill climbs with loose shale and basalt rocks. The tire surface will only spin and cause excessive wear to trail and tire. Worst summer mtn trail tire I've used. Works good during the winter in lower elevations however. Very seasonal tire. Previous review was based on winter performance only.
